the President of the United States is n
mmultuous and noisy proceeding, but is
attended with no morc disorder than seems
to he inevitable wherever the President
appears. The exposition had called in a
great number Of strangers but the advent
OF the President has hardly left standing
room in the town.

the streets in carriages this morning.
With many beautiful, even palatial, rcs.

commerce which ccntes here observable,
there were everywhere the evidences of
immaturity. Streets in many places were
torn up, and building operations seemed
almost everywhere in progress. The Presi-

started which il going to build our
residences hereafter" The ride was
well managed and thoroughly en-
joyable affair. Only carriages enough
